Chessies' Cove sits on Winter Harbor Haven, which features year-round water access to the Bay that's only minutes away by boat, plus excellent crabbing and fishing, smooth and peaceful kayaking and robust bird watching. At the house, you can enjoy wonderful views of the wetlands and Harbor out to the Chesapeake Bay from the 10X50 screened-in deck or inside via the expansive windows. When you enter Chessies' Cove, you are quickly touched by the sun-drenched feel of the house. The home features heart-of-pine floors throughout the main floor, all reclaimed from a factory in Connecticut. The open kitchen plan makes for a welcoming space for all. Separate eating areas, both inside and on the screened-in porch, provide ample space to enjoy a meal. The living room has comfortable seating for reading, napping or watching TV. There are three bedrooms on the same floor; one has two twin beds, another has a queen bed and personal access to the bathroom shared with the great room, and the master bedroom has a queen bed with its own bathroom and waterfront screened-in deck access. The loft space, with two twin beds, as well as a sofa and chair and ottoman, provides another place to lounge and relax. There is a TV in the loft, as well. Chessies' Cove is located only minutes from Main Street in the quaint town of Mathews, where shopping and dining are plentiful if you want to venture downtown. The house has a gas grill as well as a charcoal grill, and the kitchen is well appointed, so onsite dining might be your preference at least part of your stay. LOCAL ATTRACTIONS: The charming town of Mathews has a variety of restaurants and shops for you to explore, many of which feature works by local artists and crafts people. If you want to spend time on the beach, Bethel Beach Natural Area Preserve is just a short drive away. Consisting of 83-acres of sandy beach, low dunes and salt marshes on the Chesapeake Bay, Bethel Beach is home to rare plants, nesting birds and the endangered Northeastern Beach Tiger Beetle. Other beaches also are located close by. NEW POINT COMFORT NATURE PRESERVE is a short 15-minute drive. It provides a unique look at life at the edge of the Chesapeake Bay. The lighthouse is the third oldest still standing on the Bay. Depending on the tide, this site combines tidal shallows, mudflats, beach, exposed pilings, and deep offshore channels, all of which offer their own assortment of numerous water birds, lusty displays of fiddler crabs and yellow Seaside Dragonlets, our only truly saltwater dragonfly. You may experience this beauty on the boardwalk, or launch a kayak or canoe there. Located in Mathews County at the southern end of Route 600, Virginia Historical Marker N-89. In addition to the restaurants in town, you can find waterfront dining close by. Check out Hole in the Wall, located on Gwynn's Island and just a quick 10 to15-minute drive; or try Merroir Tasting Room, which is just a bit further in Topping. For the golfers in your group, Piankatank River Golf Course is a 25-30 minute drive away. Mathews is a great home base for you to explore other waterfront towns including Gwynn's Island, Deltaville Irvington, and Whitestone. In addition, historic Williamsburg and Yorktown, Water Country USA, Busch Gardens, and the Williamsburg Outlet Stores are all a 45 to 60-minute drive.

A perfect place to kayak and our retriever was in heaven. The house was clean and had everything needed. I just have two suggestions. I would add a coffee maker or French press for coffee other than keurig, and would update bed size to queen although the beds were comfortable. The downstairs door lock off the parking area was tough to lock and you need to use the key because the knob lock didn’t stick. The marsh area leading to the bay is beautiful and a great place to kayak! ##### virginia g.

We enjoyed fishing and crabbing off of the private dock. Our dogs had a great time chasing sand crabs and playing in the big yard. The owners were quick to respond to any questions or problems.

We like things away from tourist-y areas and a little out of the way and this did not disappoint! Crabbing, fishing, kayaking, porch-sitting, Mathews thrifting and shops, Richardson's ice cream, Haven and Bethel beach days and a lot of family games and play. Would definitely recommend! ##### K H.
